Kahori Dianthus is a compact mat-forming evergreen perennial with grey green foliage and hairy stems. Masses of fragrant semi-double lilac pink flowers bloom first in late spring into summer, and sporadically into fall if deadheaded. Blooms best in full sun and slightly alkaline, moist, and well-drained soil.
